DJ7-588HF AMATEUR RADIO TRANSCEIVER

Section 1 – YOUR NEW OMNI-VII Our aim in designing and producing OMNI- VII was to meet the demands of increasingly intense competition in DXing and contesting, while adding many non-performance related features that the active ham can also appreciate. OMNI-VII offers superb reception and transmission of CW, SSB, digital modes, FM, and AM on all 10 HF amateur bands and 50 MHz. UNPACKING OMNI-VII Examine OMNI-VII for signs of shipping damage. Should any damage be apparent, notify the delivering carrier immediately, stating the full extent of the damage. Retain all damaged cartons. Liability for shipping damage rests with the carrier. We recommend that you keep the carton and fillers in the event that storage, moving, or shipment becomes necessary. The hardware and accessories listed in Figure 1-1 come standard with your OMNI- VII. Make sure that you have not overlooked anything. ABOUT THIS MANUAL The OMNI-VII is a firmware updateable transceiver. Features and functions on the transceiver can change as time passes when new firmware revisions are issued via Ten-Tec’s www.rfsquared.com firmware download website. The latest version of the OMNI-VII manual is posted in .pdf format on the OMNI-VII section of the Ten-Tec website at www.tentec.com. Schematic diagrams are not included in this manual but are available for download from the www.rfsquared.com firmware website. This manual was written by Scott E. Robbins, W4PA.

The supply voltage can range from +12.8 to +15.0 Vdc but +13.8 Vdc is the optimum value. The voltage source must be capable of supplying 22 amperes continuous duty. We recommend using the included DC power cable (P/N 86095). We have also included spare connector pins (P/N 41020) and a spare 2 pin power connector shell (P/N 35165) for building your own cable. The power supply plug will attach in only one direction to the polarized two-pin DC connector on the OMNI-VII rear panel. Use no less than #14 gauge (#12 recommended) stranded wires for three-foot long connections to accommodate the required current demand during transmit. Use heavier gauge wire for longer power supply leads. NOTE: always enable the power source first and then the transceiver. If a generator or alternator supports the dc source, always turn off the transceiver before starting or 588 manual Initial release – October 2006 1 Part #74409 Printed in USA shutting off the dc source equipment. These recharging devices often generate large voltage spikes that can damage the transceiver. A WORD ABOUT GROUNDING A good ground system is essential for optimum operation of any HF transmitter. The best solution is to connect all the station equipment chassis together using a heavy gauge of flat ground braid. Use a short length of braid to connect to a ground rod. If you are not using a linear amplifier, a less ideal ground may suffice. A ground connection to a copper cold water pipe was often suitable, but that is now a violation of the National Electrical Code. Be aware that many modern water connections use plastic pipe, and are not suitable ground connections. Antenna type and its proximity to the station are also factors in choosing ground methods. With good resonant antennas located away from the station, the AC ground in your house wiring might be adequate. PHILOSOPHY OF DESIGN Ten-Tec’s goal with the OMNI-VII transceiver was to provide an HF transceiver that meets several disparate criteria. 1) Be easy for the average amateur to operate. 2) Have a feature set that experienced amateurs expect a top of the line piece of equipment to include. 3) Offer Amateur Radio’s first completely Ethernet controllable HF rig, with an eye to remote operation becoming more and more popular as time passes. 4) Include general coverage HF receive capability plus 50 MHz. The filtering system in the OMNI-VII uses what we refer to as “distributed” roofing filters. The definition of roofing filters varies; in Amateur Radio terms the term has come to mean a crystal or mechanical filter that allows for the preservation of available receiver performance for realistic on-the-air situations, as opposed to lab conditions when only two signals at a given spacing are present for test purposes. General coverage HF transceivers today are of an upconverting, VHF level first I-F, followed by two or three more conversion stages. This VHF I-F first stage is somewhat problematic due to physics to create an adequate mode-appropriate roofing filter. At the same time, some amateurs are reluctant to use a ham bands- only HF transceiver that may have a low frequency first I-F and be generally more suited to high performance applications than a general coverage HF rig. The question was how to combine a general coverage receiver with a mode-appropriate system of filtering appropriate for high-end Amateur Radio receiver performance. We refer to the roofing filters in the OMNI-VII as “distributed” because filters are spread across both the first and second I-F stages. The conversion stages in the OMNI-VII are 70 MHz first I-F, 455 kHz second I-F, 12 kHz (DSP) third I-F. Monolithic filters at 20 and 6 kHz are present at the first I-F stage. Selectable second I-F filters at bandwidths of 2.5 kHz, 500 Hz (optional) and 300 Hz (optional) can be cascaded with the first I-F monolithic filter at 6 kHz bandwidth. Bandwidth filtering is done in DSP at the third I-F and is controlled by the BW encoder on the tra…

November 6, 2006 Federal Communications Commission Authorization and Evaluation Division 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 USA Re: FCC ID: DJ7-588 Subject: Attestation Letter Gentlemen: The scanner receiver equipment meets the requirements of the FCC Rules, 15.121(a). Compliance is achieved through the following methods: The scanner receiver in this equipment is incapable of tuning, or readily being altered, by the user to operate within the frequency bands allocated to the Domestic Public Cellular Telecommunications Service in Part 22. Blocking of the cellular frequencies is implementedin the firmware of the unit’s main control central processing unit (CPU). Thus coverage of 824– 849 MHz and 869– 894 MHz is not possible, since it is done in the microprocessor, and cannot be re-enabled by any user-accessible procedure, software or hardware, including diode, resistor, or jumper changes, nor by connection of any external device such as a personal computer, nor by installation of any “special” enabling semiconductor device.

Model 588was configured into a simulated installation. The specific setup for each test performed is described in each section Page 6 of 56 SECTION 4 RADIATED EMISSIONS Report Number G610199 PROCEDURE-RADIATED EMISSIONS FCC Part 15 (2006) Radiated Emissions measurements are investigated and taken pursuant to the procedures of ANSI C63.4 (2003). The EUT was placed on a wooden platform in a typical configuration .8m above metal turntable mounted level with the metal ground plane. A Biconical antenna was placed 10 meters away from the EUT on a 4-meter fiberglass mast. The receiving antenna was connected to the 50 ȍ input of the HP8566B spectrum analyzer. The EUT was powered by a 120VAC 60Hz, and was configured into its normal operational mode. The 30 MHZ to 40 MHZ band was observed on the spectrum analyzer while the EUT power and control leads were adjusted to maximize emissions. The remote turntable was rotated 360 degrees to find the maximum emissions. The peak frequencies for this band were recorded. This search for emissions continued from 40 MHZ up to 1 GHz. The receiving antennas were varied in height from 1 to 4 meters, for frequencies from 30MHZ to 1GHZ and the remote turntable was rotated 360 degrees to find the maximum emissions. This test was performed for all modes of operation. All significant emissions are reported on the attached data report. To verify that the E.M.I. emissions measured were generated by the E.U.T., the system power was interrupted at peak reading while observing the Spectrum Analyzer. Unless otherwise specified, all Radiated Emissions are recorded as "PEAK" spectrum analyzer readings. The Radiated Field Strength was calculated as follows: Maximum Emission Received (dB) + Antenna Factor (dB) + Cable Loss (dB) = Field Strength dBuv/Meter.
